  1. As "Magnolia Sky" loaded on my computer, I whispered out loud, "Oh, wow."

    Love the colors.
    Love the texture in the background.
    Love the canvas size.
    Love the image of magnolias.

  2. I love the energy you put into your background. It gives a vitality and life to the foreground images, which are quite lovely. I can almost feel them dancing in a warm Spring breeze... Great colors, too...

  4. Hi Linny,

    Melinda's blog says the earth is sacred, and if it is so,the Magnolia is its prayer, and this painting of yours lets the Magnolia sing. I'm not religious, but the Magnolia seems to be joy expressed in a tree. It is the complete wow of spring, and makes us smile. Your painting captures this wow so perfectly.

    Take care,

    Barbara

  6. Hi Linny!.... Love the elongated format to "house" this magnolia sprig. Your choice of a pastel palette really heightens the softness and delicacy of your blossomy subject!

    A beautiful piece in every way!

    Good painting!
    Warm regards,
    Bruce

  7. Love the perfection of simplicity in this. Using monotones on the Magnolia works beautifully against that beautifully colored background.
